4. LOAD DIAGRAM OF MILWAUKEE BRIDGE
CONCEPT: The bridge is built to look delicate and light, but was built so that there would be no
need for support structures underneath
At 200 feet tall, the mast enables the support cables to pull against the bridge's weight, and return to
the building where they are anchored down.
With relatively little space, this bridge is deceptive in it's appearance, giving the impression that it is less
formidable than it truly is.
